yes, it was pinned at the last repair.  I will put 
in on lift and have a look at the cylinders and pedals.

Gary---Play in the pedal box would be one reason for the clutch not 
disengaging. This would be due to the clutch Master cylinder not pushing enough 
fluid down to the Slave Cylinder. Easy enough to check for this play, and not 
too difficult to correct. You'll have to get your head down there to see if 
there is play between the pedal arm, clevis pin, and MC pushrod. Also check the 
shaft (bushings) that crosses both pedals. 

I take it to mean that you had your fork pinned during the last repair. Chances 
are good that the culprit isn't from broken pin(s), and the disengagement 
difficulty starts at the pedal box.

Look to www.buckeyetriumphs.org for details about clutch disengagement 
problems, including the pedal box.
